Engadget noted that the update brings the original Paperwhite software up to par with the latest model and also includes Kindle FreeTime, which curates books for children and lets parents block time for them to read, Cloud Collections for organization and Page Flip for scanning content without losing your place. The Bookmarks, Highlights and Notes feature can now be accessed more quickly.

While all of the features are welcome, I’m most looking forward to the Goodreads integration.

So I’ve had to use either a separate Goodreads app or the Goodreads website for my book reviews, reading progress updates and to see what my friends are reading or recommending. The new software update should put most of that activity directly in my Kindle Paperwhite, making it easier and seamless to use Goodreads.
